Recent progresses on the development of thioxo-naphthalimides

Thioxo/dithioxo-naphthalimide is a class of rarely visited fluorophore, first synthesized in 1999. Facile chemistry was devised to achieve mono or dual thionation of the two carbonyl groups of 1,8-naphthalimide. Thionation effectively shifts absorption maximum to longer spectral wavelength, significantly increase absorption coefficients, and dramatically enhances intersystem crossing efficiency with respect to their oxo-analogues. They were first explored as potent photocleavers to induce DNA strand break and novel photosensitizers for photodynamic therapies. In recent years, the unique chemistry of thioxo groups has been harnessed to achieve new applications, such as fluorescent sensors for heave metal ions. These unique photochemical and photophysical characteristics revitalize them intriguing functional molecules to investigate. In this short review, we wish to revisit their first discovery, facile synthesis, and the endeavors on the use of thioxo/dithioxo-naphthalimides for novel chemical and biomedical applications.

Recent progresses on diarylethene based photochromic switches

Organic photochromic materials have received considerable attention because of their potential for photonic applications, especially for fast and high density data storage. In 2000, Chemical Reviews published a special issue on photochromic materials including a review about the properties and applications of diarylethene photochromic compounds. Since then much impressive progress has been made in this area. Various new diarylethene derivatives have been prepared and examined. The tutorial review presented herein describes developments in diarylethene-based molecular switches made in the last three years. In addition, the synthetic aspects of diarylethene photochromic compounds, which are important issues and neglected in most previous reviews, have been included.     

Recent progresses in the synthesis of functionalized isoxazoles

Isoxazole is an important pharmacophore that is critical for biological activity. The isoxazole ring ranks 33rd in frequency among the 351 ring systems found in marketed drugs, thus suggesting a great deal of interest in the synthesis of functional isoxazoles. In recent years, various approaches have been developed for the synthesis and functionalization of isoxazoles. This comprehensive survey summarizes the recent new synthetic approaches to functionalized isoxazoles, with particular focus on the last three years with regard to the following reaction types: (1) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, (2) condensation, (3) cycloisomerization, and (4) direct functionalization.
